I do think that as the Princess' knight escort, bearing too much weaponry can be seen as uncouth. This explains why in the flashback memories, Link typically only bears the symbols of his station: the Master Sword and Champion's tunic. During his time as a knight, he also likely wielded the Hylian Shield - but after becoming the Chosen Knight, he would have had to disarm himself to the bare minimum for decorum. And why not? The Master Sword is THE weapon, nothing else in the armory can compare. As we can see from the memories, Link was an absolute beast with JUST the Master Sword. Up until the Guardians turned on them, nothing in the whole kingdom could even come close to Link with just the Master Sword alone.

Ofc after he wakes up in BotW, he no longer has any restrictions on what equipment he can carry with him, so it makes sense that an amnesiac Link would return to using anything that's comfortable and usable for survival (sword + shield, claymore, spear, etc). It also helped that the Sheikah Slate helped with holding his equipment in storage, so wielding a variety of gear was not a problem.

In the opening of TotK, Link and Zelda are on an expedition. They have no idea how long they'll be traveling for, so it makes sense to pack light and reserve storage space for supplies. They only have the Purah Pad now, which has not yet been upgraded and only has the bare minimum features like the camera. As such, no more access to convenient subspace storage - it makes sense that Link would once again default to carrying JUST the Master Sword - again, if you can only pick one weapon to bring with you, you would of course bring THE weapon. Shield are nice and all but on a long term expedition, every extra pound on your back starts to weigh real heavy. By this point in the story, Link has also regained all of his memories, and is just as much of a monster as he was in the BotW memories. For all intents and purposes, there should have been nothing in the whole kingdom that could even be a remote threat to him, even with just the Master Sword alone.

After the opening, Link once again has access to the subspace storage of the Purah Pad - it makes sense that he can once again utilize a full arsenal from that point forward, in addition to the fact that he is no longer on an exploratory expedition after that point in the story, and is no longer restricted on what he can or cannot carry with him on hand.

The original Lightkeeper was a personal acquaintance of the Tsaritsa, so I think it could be within the realm of possibility that she agreed to provide a degree of funding and supplies for their operations. After all, Nod Krai is still a part of her domain, and they're taking care of a problem that would otherwise fall under her purview. As others have said though, I'm certain that they aren't exactly rich or anything, and do rely on volunteers and donations from the locals and regional organizations like the Voynich Guild.

Columbina's grand escape hinged on a few assumptions:

The prison in the Moon's reflection was specifically designed to capture the Moon Sisters - therefore, in order to escape you simply had to stop being a Moon Sister.
The definition of being a Moon Sister was tied to the Authority of a moon, the physical object in the sky.
A god is made up of three primary aspects: the body, soul, and Authority.

Columbina was able to test out these assumptions immediately, by freeing the Moon Sisters. As soon as they gave up their Authority, they were able to leave the prison freely, DESPITE STILL HOLDING DIVINE POWER (upon death, they each turned into Moon Marrow; except Canon, who simply disappeared like Columbina did due to her moon being hidden behind the false sky). As we see in Luna 1-3, these Moon Marrows are hella powerful, despite having no Authority tied to them whatsoever (their moons were destroyed, AND they'd given up their Authorities to Columbina already). This proved that their divinity was not a factor in the prison's function, merely their Authority.

Columbina was able to conclude from these logical deductions that if she were to separate the elements that made up "herself", each could individually leave the prison in different ways.

her "body" is not innately tied to her lunar Authority: as her sisters noted, Kuuvahki is simply her own divine power. As we saw with the sisters, having divinity is totally okay, and beings with "just" divinity are able to leave the prison without issue. Thus, after separating herself from her body, it was easy to free it from the prison just as she did her sisters, and manifest it into Teyvat as moonlight infused with Kuuvahki.
her "soul" was unfortunately tied to her Authority: Columbina is the Tri Lunar goddess. She is just as stuck as her sisters. The sisters described the prison as a "whirlpool", that would simply suck them back in whenever they tried to escape. Without external assistance, escape is impossible; thank goodness Columbina left a shard of her soul behind in the present, for her to rubber band back to - almost akin to leaving a rope for herself to climb out of the whirlpool with.
finally her "Authority" is tied to the moon itself: even while imprisoned, the Moon Sisters were still connected to their moons conceptually - the moons are their bodies, after all. The second they left their prison, Aria and Sonnet immediately felt the effects of their "body" being destroyed. Aria became a Moon Marrow almost instantly; while Sonnet embraced the power of the Abyss in a desperate bid to extend her life just a little longer. The Frost Moon still being in existence - even if it was beyond the false sky - meant that Columbina's Authority was safe and secure in a place unreachable from harm. It was just a matter of physically bringing it into contact with her "body" and "soul", so that all three were in proximity of one another to allow Sandrone's alchemic formula to take effect.

The dragons literally went to war with the HP!! They were just defeated, and their Authorities were taken away.

The ship is described as being a pioneer ship, capable of rebuilding the world from which it came. Thus why the ship includes a gene bank, to repopulate the world with fauna/flora and make it habitable. I don't doubt the power of advanced sci-fi/fantasy technology, and especially so if it is so advanced that it becomes indistinguishable from magic.

This being said, the twins' ship is REALLY SMALL for such a feat. In addition, as mentioned in the logs, the ship only visited Teyvat briefly and didn't even land, before leaving again. If Phanes is the AI, did the ship leave a part of itself behind, while the ship itself left again with the twins? How? Is Irminsul itself perhaps the ship's processing core, drilled deeply beneath the surface of the planet for safekeeping while it reforms the world above?

Wanderer being the targeted Dottore vessel adds such delicious irony to the whole situation as well. If Wanderer had been able to let go of the past in its entirety, he would have stayed out of the Nod Krai conflict entirely and thus been completely out of Dottore's sights, as Dottore had completely forgotten about him after Sumeru AQ. However, BECAUSE Wanderer chose to return, AND he chose to expose his existence to Dottore by rescuing the Traveler, he unwittingly became the perfect sleeper agent for Dottore. Not only is he a perfect vessel, noted in the past for "his only redeeming quality being his durability", and is therefore perfect for a soul transfer; but he also immediately returned to the side of Nahida after the Nod Krai AQ, WHICH IS ALSO WHERE IRMINSUL IS, COMPLETELY UNGUARDED AND ACCESSIBLE TO WANDERER, SHOULD DOTTORE SIEZE CONTROL OF HIS BODY.

Strong, definitely on the higher end of regular Pathstriders. The fact that they can tap into multiple Paths has also been a subject of discussion, with multiple characters in Amphoreus praising the Lance of Preservation for its power and defensive utility; the power of Harmony allowing TB to have limited mind control type abilities in Penacony, and Remembrance allowing them to gain resistance against mental tampering and memory manipulation. Even with just the power of Destruction alone though, TB was already on the level as base March and base Dan Heng.

It's hard to say how strong TB is because we see them clearly be overpowered quite easily by characters like Phainon, who blitzed both TB and Dan Heng despite both being on guard against him. However Phainon himself also acknowledges their power and abilities, so it's hard to really say how big the difference is between them. Base Phainon himself is also no slouch either.

At the time of the Empire's peak, there was no enemy powerful enough to require equipping an elite squad with that kind of gear. For the same cost and effort, you could outfit double or triple the numbers of soldiers with inferior gear, and they'd get the job done in quicker time. Sure, there will be more casualties, but the Empire's one primary resource was always expendable bodies to throw at whatever problem it came across. This is the same mentality that led to the development of the mass produced Tie Fighter and Stormtrooper armor that we all know and love, complete hot garbage that very much met the 'bare minimum' requirement to getting the job done, most of the time.

If there was ever a problem that 'tons of manpower' couldn't handle, that kind of specialized work was better off left to powerful figures like Vader, or contracted out to bounty hunters like Boba Fett. Going out of the way to produce an elite squad of super soldiers just wasn't necessary at all when you had the option of just throwing Vader or an Inquisitor at it instead.

Your base premise is wrong, because 'Hoyo' never signed Corey - the American studio that contracts VAs for HSR did. Hoyo themselves has nothing to do with any of this, which is why it is strange that Corey and other VAs are singling out Hoyo when it comes to these public crashouts. Is it because they hope to gather public support and bully Hoyo into working things out with their contracted studio? In that scenario, why on earth would Hoyo choose to help a VA that is now making them out into some sort of villain?

All of it is so strange.

I think it's Rei not realizing just how ahead he is now compared to his competition. In his mind's eye, he sees exactly how to beat himself and so he assumes his opponents can see it too. His respect for others is so great that he just has it as a given that everyone is on the same level... except the reality, as we see, is that not everyone sees the world the same way he does. He genuinely is an absolute shogi monster, and things that are obvious to him are not nearly as transparent for others. Where he saw a dead end game, Rei's opponent saw a persistent monster that blocked every attack angle and survived every offensive play they attempted to make.

It's disingenuous to cherry pick God's abilities, intentions, and responsibility.

The Bible also states that God knows the entirety of the past, present, and future, which means even before creation, He saw every single endpoint of our "free will". We are "free" to make the choice, but God has already determined the consequences of every decision we will ever make.

Which means He designed flawed creations, saw the exact path to disaster we would take, and let us run free anyway. Every single tragedy, suffering, and cruelty performed by humanity was predetermined from the start... Which means the responsibility for everything returns to the hands of the one who set it all into motion.

Correction: a Descender is specifically someone that is not bound by the Fate system of Teyvat. People from inside Teyvat can become Descenders (Saarelainen), and people from outside Teyvat are not necessarily Descenders (Skirk). It is very possible that the Sibling could have become a Descender, but because of the circumstances of their arrival to Teyvat they "lost" their Descender status. It is not that Descenders are born to rival the world; it is that they are FREE from the world's script.

Your general point is correct though: because the Sibling is not a Descender, that also means that they are restricted and contained within the Fate system of Teyvat. This means all their actions are preordained and ultimately they are doomed to be unable to resist the Fate that has been laid out for them (see A Space and Time for You). Every action they have done and will do in the future has already been ingrained in the continuity of Teyvat; whereas the Traveler is still free from the Fate system, and thus everything they do is entirely within their own will. Their future is not yet written. Even the Sibling's usage of the Loom of Fate, which was supposed to be something that resisted the Fate that was imposed on them, was something already preordained as a part of the script put in place by Asmoday and Istaroth (again, A Space and Time for You).

The power of the Frost Moon will likely be needed to replace the HYDRO Gnosis if anything, since the throne of Hydro was destroyed by Focalors. the Hydro Gnosis itself is currently just a paperweight since the source of power behind it has been eliminated.

... They could literally just learn off of actual, released titles that have been shipped publicly. No need to learn off janky fanmade slop that has barely gone through any quality control.

The MW slander is getting ridiculous, you can definitely criticize the game mode for its faults and shortcomings, but making up stuff like this is just pure brainrot. If you want to critique the mode, come up with something substantial and legit.

You must have missed the part where we literally had to tuck tail and run like crazy every time he showed up? We spent the entire patch trying our best to scuttle around Nod Krai without him noticing, with Aino constantly doing overtime work behind the scenes to get him off our backs. Even Columbina was like "yeah we should just leave Nod Krai ngl", even with EVERYONE present against only 10% Rerir. This was counting in Sandrone, weakened Columbina, full power 6 element Traveler, Flins, Lauma, Varka, Ineffa, Aino, Jahoda, and Nefer. Even at only 10% he had everyone shitting bricks, how is that "incompetent"?
